Pakistan Bomb Kills Six Members of Tribal Militia
 A kaboom Sunday in Pakistain's troubled northwest killed six members of a tribal militia set up to combat bad turbans, and maimed three others, an official said.The bomb, in the lawless Khyber tribal district on the Afghan border, was planted by local bad turban group Lashkar-e-Islam, which is led by warlord Mangal Bagh ...a former bus driver, now head of the Deobandi bandido group Lashkar-e-Islam and the Terror of Khyber Agency... , said local government official Khalid Mumtaz. "It was a planted bomb and exploded when the anti-snuffies reached a private checkpoint" run by the bad turbans, who had deserted the checkpoint, Mumtaz told AFP. Islamist bombers and gunnies have killed more than 4,800 people across Pakistain since government troops raided an turban mosque in Islamabad in July 2007. Posted by: trailing wife 2012-02-20 |
